I am keeping this a secret from my family until I get through to the testing. I'm not going to tell them even when I get a consult. They've been supportive, but none of them have been overweight and don't know how it feels. I mentioned it awhile back and they all said that I never really wanted to loose the weight. SUREEEE. Like I wanted to be overweight or thought it was cool to huff and puff or have a stomache that hangs out.. or have clothes that don't fit right....I alway say I have been overweight since I came out my mother's womb. LOL. I was even an athlete but I was always overweight. People were always wondering how I ran so fast, or told me if I lost some weight I'd be an amazing athlete. That was the surface of peoples rude comments. My family's rude comments were another story. I'll go into that later...
I don't have a doctor as he quit his practice but I did manage to go to a walk in clinic and tell the doctor my story. He agree'd and said WLS would be a good thing to look into. I'm hoping to see one of the doctors at West Coast Bariatrics.
I called the clinic yesterday and they told me a consult was a 2 year wait!!!!
I have mixed emotions. Maybe in those 2 years I can loose all the weight?? (who am I kidding) Or what if I balloon out even more?? (possibility)
I've started my journey. I only wish this process would go faster.
